The Windfalls of Love (Roxanne and Harrison)

Chapter 223

Sure, that wasn't real.

Roxanne got it. Getting any gal Harrison wanted would be a piece of cake for him. But he wasn't a

playboy. He was a clean-living guy. He didn't fall in love easily, but once he did, he was all in.

Roxanne knew all these.

The truth was, Harrison was a good catch with top-tier status.

To become Mrs. Rodriguez, for her, was like winning a lottery of 5 million dollars, even better.

It was like she found a gem, making her feel all sorts of ways.

"Harrison, you might think I don't know how to seize the chance." She dropped her gaze, not meeting

Harrison's eyes anymore. "Didn't your father say he would host a party to introduce me to your family

members? Since we are going to divorce, there's no need for introductions. Tell your father not to go

through the trouble of preparing the party."

She felt sorry for Harrison's father.

He had been treating her like his own daughter the whole time.

She was too embarrassed to tell him about the divorce. "Harrison, find a chance to tell him about the

divorce. Save him from being kept in the dark."

Hearing her decision to divorce, Harrison was furious.

He was the richest man in town, with wealth, power, status, and good looks.

He lacked nothing.

Yet she still didn't want to be with him.

Harrison retorted angrily, "You tell him yourself."

"Then I will find a chance to talk to him properly." Roxanne picked up a napkin and wiped her mouth.

"I'm full; if there is nothing else, I will take my leave."

She pushed back her chair, stood up, and walked away from the bustling roadside stall.

Harrison didn't chase after her. He watched as Roxanne's silhouette disappeared into the crowd.

Harrison also stood up.

The street corner was still bustling and chaotic, with small vendors busy at work.

That was the same street full of roadside stalls where he first met Roxanne.

Harrison seemed out of place there.

He and Roxanne were from completely different worlds and different classes.

After living together for half a year, he felt like he knew her very well, yet he felt like he didn't know her

at all.

Roxanne felt the same way.

Perhaps they were really not suited for each other.

Keeping busy was the best way to heal wounds.

Once you start to keep busy, your attention is completely diverted.

That was true for Harrison, and it was true for Roxanne.

Roxanne and Chloe rented a new office and started a new foreign trade company.

They recruited a few new employees.

Everything started anew.

In Harrison's words, that small company she started was just messing around, but for her, that was her

ability to stand on her own two feet. That was a formal job that allowed her to hold her head high.

In a blink of an eye, half a month had passed.

The weather was getting warmer, and many young men and women had started wearing short sleeves.

But this year, Roxanne started to feel a bit cold.

At sunset, she quickly put on her coat.

Maybe it was because she had an unfortunate miscarriage during Christmas that she started to feel

cold.

As for Chloe, it was even worse. She had a miscarriage, gave birth to two children, suffered humiliation

at her mother-in-law's house during her recovery period after delivery, and didn't get proper care.

Chloe's health was even worse.

Other young girls were wearing short sleeves and skirts, whereas Chloe was wearing a coat and a

vest.

Roxanne, who also had a miscarriage, started to understand why Chloe was so afraid of the cold.

Thinking of the child she and Harrison were supposed to have, who had an unexpected miscarriage,

Roxanne suddenly felt very heartbroken.

She didn't even get a chance to love that child.

Maybe it was just fate.

If the child could have been born, it would have been born into a wealthy family.

With Harrison, the richest man in Seraphim Haven, as a father, the child could not only enjoy wealth

and luxury but also have access to quality education, nurtured by the wealthy family of Seraphim

Haven, and become an elite in society.

Unfortunately, the child had a miscarriage before it was born.

Vincent called Roxanne just before she was about to get off work.

"Anne, don't forget about the family party tomorrow. I'll have Harrison pick you up early. You don't need

to prepare anything. Just wear what you usually wear. No need for a dress. We are all family. Don't be

nervous."

Roxanne didn't know how to respond.

Didn't Harrison tell his father that there was no need to prepare for the family party?

After dealing with Vincent, Roxanne called Harrison.

That was the first time Roxanne had taken the initiative to call Harrison since they parted ways.

Besides that call, Roxanne had sent Harrison two messages.

The two messages were about when he would be free to go to the city hall to process the divorce.

Harrison replied that he didn't have time.

Harrison had two meetings in the morning and basically nothing in the afternoon.

All afternoon, he would glance at his phone from time to time, opening Roxanne's messages from time

to time. Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.

He had typed messages to send to her in the chat box several times but ended up not sending them in

the end.

Why should he take the initiative to contact her?

He, as the richest man in Seraphim Haven, went way out of his way to find her on the snack street and

take her home, but she refused.

He didn't want to take the initiative to contact her.

In fact, just a moment before Roxanne's call came in, he couldn't hold back anymore.

Even if Roxanne didn't call, he was going to call her.

But when Roxanne's call came in, he pretended to delay for ten to twenty seconds before answering

the call and asking, "What's up?"

Roxanne first asked, "Are you busy?"

"Do you think I would not be busy?" He asked back with a haughty tone.

"Then I'll call you back when you're not busy."

Just as Roxanne was about to hang up, Harrison said coldly, "Speak now. I might not have time to

answer your call later. Just say what you want."

"Alright." Roxanne asked, "Haven't you told your dad that he doesn't need to throw family party

anymore?"

"Why don't you tell him yourself?"

"Weren't you supposed to mention it to your dad?"

"That's a surefire way to get scolded; you go tell him."

The family party was set for the next day, and Roxanne guessed that Vincent had probably notified all

the family members.

If she said now that she couldn't attend, wouldn't that be like standing him up?

Roxanne really didn't want to make things awkward for Vincent.

On the other end of the phone, Harrison said coldly, "I'll pick you up tomorrow afternoon."

"Do I need to send you the address of my new company?" Roxanne pondered, feeling that this was the

only option.

"I know where it's located."

Harrison, even though he hadn't contacted Roxanne for half a month, he still knew everything about

what she was doing and where she was.

"Okay, see you tomorrow afternoon."

Just as Roxanne was about to hang up, Harrison stopped her, "I have something else to say."

"Didn't you say you had other things to attend to?"

Roxanne's retort left Harrison speechless.

He wanted to show her some concern and ask how she was doing but felt that it was somewhat

beneath his dignity to take the initiative to care for her.
